First successful blog (for MLA Web 2.0 101 course)
Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging!
Hi. I’m a part-time, semi-retired medical librarian who would like to get up to speed with Web 2.0. I attended the MLA broadcast on Web 2.0 last week, and was please to learn about the 8 week web-based MLA course, Web 2.0 101. I’m registered, but will I be able to finish the course? I can’t do the work at work because our computer network is restricted. And our computer at home uses DIAL-UP! I tried watching the U-tube presentation on RSS, but gave up after 40 minutes with just a few random words.
I was able to set up this Blog through Word Press, but could not post my message the first two times. At that point, I figured that I needed to save my text in word processing software, because not only was my Blog not posting, my draft message kept disappearing!
So, will I survive? Will I succeed? We’ll see.

Pam’s blog (again)
Somehow the original posting and my comment on it seemed to have gone missing. So I’m trying again. My first comment on blogs vs wikkis is that WIKKIS ARE MUCH EASIER!
Anyhow. This blog is for the MLA Web 2.0 101 course, and will contain some of my reactions to it (and for whatever is supposed to be added here).
Wish me luck! I’m trying to do this with a dial-up connection.

What really concerns me is that I wrote a long response about possible uses of Blogs last week in the library. Now it’s gone. I’ll have to re-think that and re-enter that another time…..

At least you’re trying your best, even in the face of significant obstacles! Best of luck to you, and I hope you don’t get too frustrated!
